thrill seekers, bungee jumping will be the best adrenaline-filled
adventure. If you’re looking for a true adrenaline rush that will
make you feel like your stomach jumped all the way up to your throat,
but make you feel beyond amazing after you’ve jumped, then bungee
jumping is the adventure for you. What better place to go experience
this thrilling activity than in the land where the first commercial
jump was made. That’s right, we’re talking about New Zealand. You

years after the first jump ever, and 30 years after the commercial
jump, you can now experience freefalling without any fear. After

a car and start exploring the land, climb up the mountain or even

flight to Africa. You can find amazing parasailing trips at Three
Anchor Bay and choose between doing it solo or maybe in tandem. Soar
up in the air, and enjoy the view of the spectacular mountains and
beautiful coast that will make your parasailing experience truly
magnificent.

Go on a safari in Africa

We’re all crazy about Thailand, Hawaii, Bali, France and Australia,
but when it comes to Africa it stays unjustly unexplored. If you
decide to visit Africa, going
on a safari should definitely be a number one must-do
in your itinerary. The Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya is one of
the places that you should pay a visit on your trip through Africa.
When we’re talking about quintessential African wildlife reserve,
the Maasai Mara National Park is not only an epitome of it but also a
home to a plethora of spectacular wild animal species. Nothing will
be able to compare to being so close to the spectacular wildlife, in
a long time, so don’t miss a chance to be overwhelmed and
breath-taken by lions, leopards, elephants, black rhinoceros, cape
buffalo and so many wonderful animals in their natural habitat.
Africa will certainly win you over with its exotic charm, so if you
decide t spend a few extra days on this spectacular continent, feel
free to travel to Rwanda and go gorilla trekking in Volcanoes
National Park.

Hike in Chile

A truly
bucket-list-worthy adventure is without a doubt a hike in Chile.
Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia is every outdoor lover’s
paradise destination. If you’re desperate for some captivating
sceneries that you can discover by foot, then head out straight to
Chile. All the hike aficionados will accept the challenge of hiking
the grand W Trek and come across some of the most fascinating
sceneries. From scrub-filled savannahs to crystal blue lakes, every
day of your hiking adventure will be filled with admiration and
mesmerizing viewpoints. All you need to do is pack your camera, book
your accommodation in the camp or maybe at a low-key refugio and your
Chilean adventure can begin.

Walk the Great Wall of China

China is filled
with adventurous activities, but if you want to see something truly
amazing you won’t miss walking the Great Wall of China. This
gigantic construction is one of the most spectacular structures built
by a human hand, and the one to marvel at from all over the world.
You shouldn’t miss a chance to admire the 2700 years old wonder and
take some of the most fabulous pictures as well.

Visit Antarctica

Do you like
visiting cold regions? How about freezing cold where there’s barely
a few people living on the land? Not only is Antarctica the farthest
away from any continent, but it’s only the place only about 40,000
people visit every year. Probably nobody from your surroundings has
ever even thought about travelling to Antarctica and let alone
actually set a foot to it, but it would be a trip worthwhile for
sure. Go on a cruise around the islands and the Antarctic Peninsula
and witness icebergs larger than many cruise ships surrounding you
from various sides. If you’d like to go extreme, bring a swimsuit
and try to swim in the icy waters of Antarctica as many tourists dare
to do.

Final thoughts

Travelling is one
of the best ways to discover and actually feel the world around you.
Getting to know so many different destinations, mingling with people
from different regions, getting to know the culture and customs along
with enjoying some of the best adventurous activities will definitely
make every journey memorable. Therefore, if you’re planning your
next big trip, we suggest you go surfing in Australia, scuba diving
in the Caribbean or walk the Great Wall of China. Even if you choose
to go bungee jumping in New Zealand, on a safari in Kenya, or hike
along the Chilean trails or maybe parasail in Cape Town, your
vacation will be amazing. Don’t disregard winter wonders either, and
go skiing in Japan, or even cruise Antarctica and feel what a real
ice-cold feels like. Seeing Aurora Borealis is a unique experience
that many don’t get the chance to see twice in their lifetime, so
if you have a chance to visit some of the countries where you can be
breath-taken by Northern Lights, don’t think twice but pack your
bags and go.
